Scones for Mother’s Day ... or any day

Sparrows and their allies are passing through
Blane Klemek
Old Sam Peabody has been stopping by lately. I normally see him every year about this time, including autumn. He’s a pleasant looking fellow with a fine disposition and the sweetest voice you’ve ever heard. Singing, you see, is his forte, and anyone hearing his medley won’t likely forget it. Yes, Old Sam Peabody is another of my favorite birds: the white-throated sparrow.
